Trofeo Alfredo Binda - Comune di Cittiglio - Race Overview

Former Tour of Flanders winner Annemiek Van Vleuten finished in a respectable eighth place today in Trofeo Alfredo Binda.

On the penultimate lap of the WorldTour race, eight riders broke free creating the race winning move. Lizzie Armitstead (Boels-Dolmans) took the race honours with Van Vleuten coming in just behind the leading group after a furious pace on the final lap.

Van Vleuten was pleased to make it into the front selection and in a position to go try for a win on the tough course.

"I felt really good and strong," explained Van Vleuten. "When I looked around the level in the group was really high, I was with a top group of climbers."
